U.S. Sup. Ct.;
15-5991
Petitioner Shaw used identifying numbers of a bank account belonging to bank customer Hsu in a scheme to transfer funds from that account to accounts at other institutions from which Shaw was able to obtain Hsu’s funds. Shaw was convicted of violating 18 U. S. C. §1344(1), which makes it a crime to “knowingly execut[e] a scheme … to defraud a financial institution.” The Ninth Circuit affirmed.
